V-TONE GM110

2. CONTROL ELEMENTS

1.1 The design concept

The philosophy behind BEHRINGER products guarantees a

no-compromise circuit design and employs the best choice of

components.

The operational amplifiers employed by BEHRINGER and used

in the V-TONE GM110 are exceptional: they boast extreme

linearity and very low distortion characteristics. To complement

this, the choice of components includes low-tolerance resistors

and capacitors, high-quality potentiometers and switches, and

several other carefully selected elements.

The robust housing of your V-TONE, with its oversize power

supply, gives you the peace of mind that the V-TONE will hold its

own even under the most demanding stage conditions. The

housing is made of high-grade, environment-friendly MDF wood

consisting of multiply impregnated layers.

1.2 DYNAMIZER technology and

analog modeling

When an electric instrument is amplified, that’s where you

either make it or break it. Unlike the signals that have been mixed

and mastered, the signals of electric instruments have extremely

high signal peaks, placing the dynamic range of the amp’s circuitry

under immense strain. How your amp reacts to these signal

peaks is one of its most defining characteristics.

That’s why we’ve equipped all V-TONE Series amps with our

unique DYNAMIZER preamplifier circuitry. It guarantees a lively

sound with a lot of punch, even when the amp is pushed to its

limits. Combine that with our V-TONE analog modeling, and not

only do you have amazingly authentic tube sounds at your

fingertips, you also get the dynamic performance typical of the

respective amp type. Crystal-clear guitar tones come through

with transparency, warmth and the compression typical of tube

amps. Even as distortion increases, the sound remains lively

and full of power, without losing any of its assertiveness.

All along, you have full control over the volume. Plainly talking,

you can take the same sound you are used to at your practice

room and replicate it in your bedroom at much more reasonable

volume levels, or you can even record yourself while playing.

 The following user’s manual will familiarize you with

the control elements of your new V-TONE and let

you learn all of its functions. After reading this

manual, store it somewhere where you can easily

find in the future, should you need to look up some

information.

1.3 Before you get started

1.3.1 Shipment

The V-TONE was carefully packed at the assembly plant to

assure secure transport.

Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that your

V-TONE may have been damaged in transport, please inspect

the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.

 Damaged equipment should NEVER be sent directly

to us. Please inform the dealer from whom you

acquired it immediately as well as the

transportation company from which you took

delivery. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/

repair may be rendered invalid.

1.3.2 Initial operation

Please make sure that your V-TONE is provided with sufficient

ventilation, and never place it on other amplifiers or in the vicinity

of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.

 Before plugging your V-TONE into a power socket,

please make sure you have selected the correct

voltage:

The fuse mount near the power cord connector has three

triangular markings. Two of these triangles are facing opposite

one another. Your V-TONE is set up for the voltage indicated

near these markings, and can be altered by turning the fuse

mount by 180 degrees. ATTENTION: This does not apply to

export models built for 120 V, for example!

 If you use your V-TONE unit with a different voltage,

you must change the fuses accordingly. The correct

value of the fuses needed can be found in the

chapter “SPECIFICATIONS”.

 Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of

appropriate rating, without exception! The correct

value of the fuses needed can be found in the

chapter “SPECIFICATIONS”.

Power is delivered via the cable that was delivered with the V-

TONE. All mandatory safety precautions have been adhered to.

 Please make sure that all your equipment is

grounded at all times. For your own protection, you

should never tamper with the grounding of the cable

or the unit itself. The unit shall always be connected

to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing

connection. You can eliminate humming problems

caused by grounding at the D.I. OUT by pressing the

GND switch (Groundlift, ).
